Polida is not a reputable seller, I think most of us would advise against shopping with them

You can get 1N34A cheap from Tayda. I have had good results with them, but the glass is very brittle and you will inevitably break a lot of them while bending the legs. A lot of NOS diodes have brittle glass, including some Russian ones that I have. It's common

Regarding the Zener thing, I don't really understand what you're talking about there sorry. 1N34A is a germanium diode unless it's one of those Shottky diodes that people sell as 1N34A. I can't find any reliable info on 1N35A with a quick search, it's not even on eBay so I'm not sure what the relevance is, I'm guessing that's just a typo
